As we begin to end the 2016-2017 school year, I would like to take time to thank our teachers and staff for doing such a great job leading our students to discover their excellence. They are such a talented and dedicated staff who truly do whatever it takes to help our students learn and grow.

Did you know that our teachers have already begun making their plans for next year's success? Each teacher has begun the task of identifying where they would like to grow in their own learning. For some, they will be learning about a new resources. Others will work on making their routines and procedures more student driven, and some will be deepening the knowledge of the content they teach and how to personalize learning for individual students.
The +10 Mindset is about continuous improvement, and at Blue Ridge ISD learning never stops. It's also not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our goal is to lead every student to excellence by creating an environment where every educator first focuses on their own personal growth because teacher growth equals student growth. When educators are growing, students will grow in turn, and that is ultimately the reason why our district is on the path to great heights.
This week, I encourage you to take time to #ThankaTeacher. They are working so hard and deserve our appreciation.

TxVSN Grant Awarded to BRISD

| Eric Penick visiting today from Universal Technical Institute to speak about post secondary readiness. |
The Texas Virtual School Network Online Schools (TxVSN OLS) program provides instruction to eligible Texas public school students in grades 3-12. With the use of grant money, BRISD will be able to offer TxVSN online classes through accredited public school districts to students in need of special courses that cannot be offered on campus because of schedule conflicts or other special circumstances.
We are excited to have this option available for our students to receive quality instruction virtually through TxVSN. Thank you to Amy Hopkins for her hard work in securing this grant.
